I have a long history of being “matchy matchy,” but it usually comes in the form of monochromatic looks. When I came across this trapeze skirt, it was accidental that the print looked identical to my acid yellow tank that I’d been struggling with, trying to figure out what to perfectly pair it with all summer. Sometimes, you just have to have patience when it comes to style; it will evolve, give it time, and don’t let it feel so forced. It will all come together eventually, I promise!

Love This Bracelet? Me Too. Guess Who Has It? #ITSBANANA !
I wear as much Giles & Brother jewelry as I can possibly collect/afford, and I do love clothes from Banana Republic, so to see the two team up for not a design collab but rather a symbiotic selling relationship makes a lot of sense to me! The above pictured Giles & Brother Leather Wrapped Skinny Cuff ($180) is one of about 30 items from the jewelry brand that can be purchased online or in-store at Banana Republic, ushering an era of third party offerings that keenly co-exist with a Banana aesthetic and wardrobe, and a natural connection for both brands’ customers to make. Labels featured through the retailer include Giles & Brother, Elizabeth Cole, Eugenia Kim, and August.
The news about these third party offerings makes this Banana fan HAPPY, as I own at least one item from all of these labels, reinforcing the shrewd selections made of coupling the brand with the right design partners.
